Using The Dpa Adapters - DPA 4099 Sax User Manual

UsInG THe DPa aDaPTers

All DPA 4099 Guitar, Violin, Sax, and Trumpet microphone cables
are terminated with a proprietary MicroDot connector. When used
in conjunction with our range of over 35 adapters, the MicroDot
connector provides the ability to connect to virtually all available pro
wireless systems.
Various wireless systems require the use of electronics inside the
adapter to optimize the signal level, the DC offset, and powering of
the built-in microphone preamplifier. Using the adapters from DPA
ensures the correct electronic circuit with the listed types of wireless
systems (please visit www.dpamicrophones.com).
Do not attempt to employ non-standard adapters or connectors as
you might damage the microphone.
A connector-tightening tool is supplied with each adapter and
should be employed whenever the MicroDot connector needs to
be tightened. Utilize the tightening tool before use to ensure the
connection is secure and that the cable cannot rotate by the cable
relief.
The enclosed XLR adapter, DAD4099, allows the 4099 to work as a
regular 48V phantom powered microphone. The DPA 4099 features
a belt clip and a permanent first-order low-cut filter at 80 Hz. The
filter minimizes handling and wind noise at the microphone output
without compromising sound quality, as these instruments have no
appreciable frequency response below 80 Hz.
The belt clip can be removed and replaced with the enclosed ring
for use of the DAD 4099 directly in stage boxes or mixing consoles.
Dismount the cap of the adapter, remove the belt clip and place
the black ring instead. Remount the cap.
